Second, the original text:
Write to my wife in the north on a rainy night.
Tang Li Shangyin
When you ask about the return date, it's hard to say, evening rain, Manqiuchi.
When * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about the rain at night.
Third, interpretation:
When you ask about the date of return, it's hard to say clearly. It rained cats and dogs all night in Bashan, and the autumn pool was full.
When to go home, * * * cut the candle flowers in the west window and tell them face to face what it's like to rain late.
Fourth, appreciate:
The first two sentences of this poem, with questions and answers and descriptions of the immediate environment, illustrate the lonely feelings and deep nostalgia for his wife. The last two sentences imagine the joy of meeting again in the future and compare with the loneliness tonight. This poem is improvised, showing the twists and turns of the poet's feelings in an instant. The language is concise, and there is no trace of modification in the wording and sentence making. Unlike most of Li Shangyin's poems, which are rich in rhetoric, exquisite in allusions and good at symbolism, this poem is simple and natural, and also has the artistic characteristics of "deep sustenance and gentle wording".
This poem is ingenious, ups and downs, concise, concise, short-lived, and has implicit power. It has attracted countless readers for thousands of years, making people never tire of reading.

Together with Du Mu, he was called "Little Du Li" and Wen was called "Wen Li", which was similar to Duan Hewen in the same period, and both of them ranked sixteenth in the family, so they were called "Thirty-six Style". There are poems by Li Yishan.
